"If you think COVID is a joke, this is our sweet G man in an ambulance today after I called 911 because he was lethargic, skin was gray, lips were purple, and had a 103.5 temperature," Devon Mostert wrote. "I'm crying even typing this ... this is all SO SCARY."

Thankfully for the Mostert family, Gunnar is back home and is recovering from the virus.
